National Institute of Open Schooling - Regional Centre Chennai

Regional center, Chennai is another jewel in list of educational institutions situated in the panoramic view of the Marina beach, Chennai. This new region is bifurcated from Regional center, Kochi to cater to the needs of learners from Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. NIOS is thankful to Govt. of Tamil Nadu for allotting office space for establishing this center which is another step to provide opportunity to the people of this region to complete their schooling. Efforts are on to get the NIOS self learning study material translated in Tamil medium for secondary level which is in the final stage and is going to be the boon for the school drop outs from Tamil medium. Flexibility and wide option of subject combination is going to be the blessing for these learners to complete their schooling thro. Open Schooling system. Days ahead are bright for this region to increase the enrollment and benefit the learners of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry.
